Nobody has to be on camera
No filming, no voice recording, no editing timeline. The book is the script.
Upload your manuscript and xBookvideo produces a vertical short video series — AI narration, generated visuals, English subtitles. Your chapters become 12 episodes by default (set 6 to 15 in the app), so a 30-chapter title becomes one bingeable series, not 30 loose clips. No camera, no editing, no video skills.
A book cover is a static rectangle competing against motion. Video is how a finished manuscript keeps finding new readers after launch week ends.
Short-form feeds — YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Reels — are built for vertical video. A manuscript that only exists as text has nothing to put in that feed.
One title becomes a series of 12 episodes by default — a content calendar instead of one launch announcement you have to make last.
The writing, the structure, the ideas — done. Turning it into video should be a reformatting job, not a second creative project with a camera and a timeline.
Real episodes produced with xBookvideo — narration, visuals, subtitles, the whole thing. Sound on.
The episodes above come from public-domain books, so we can show them in full. Samples are compressed for the web — delivered files are 1080×1920 on all paid plans. Your own manuscript is produced the same way, and it stays yours.

Four steps, and you only do the first and the last one.
Drop in an .epub, .pdf, .docx or .txt file — often the exact file you already published.
The book is split into chapters, then grouped into a 12-episode series by default (6 to 15 in the app) — and a narration script is written for each one.
AI voiceover, generated visuals and English subtitles are assembled into a 9:16 vertical video (1080p on all paid plans).
Stream or download the series and publish it straight to Shorts, TikTok, Reels or X.
No marketing team required, and no surprises about what you own.
No filming, no voice recording, no editing timeline. The book is the script.
Your manuscript stays yours, and so do the videos made from it. On every plan you can post them on your own channels to promote your own book — no extra licence, no royalties. Creator and Studio add a commercial license on top: monetized content, paid ads and client work.
English and Chinese manuscripts are supported. Subtitles are generated in English on every plan.
Captions are styled small and anchored at the bottom of the frame, so they read like captions instead of covering the screen.
Your older titles can keep earning attention while you write the next one.
Use your own work, or a title in the public domain. We don't grant rights you don't already hold.
Useful whether or not you ever render a video — no account required.

If you're unsure about a specific title, our public domain library is a safe starting point.
